After giving Bollywood hits like Stree 2 and Munjya, the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe has now dropped the trailer of its upcoming film Thama. And from the very first look, it feels like another blockbuster in the making. The film is set to release this Diwali on 21st October. Except for Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, no big movie is clashing with it, which means Thama has a clear runway at the box office. Here are 5 reasons why Thama could rule the theatres.
India's first vampire love story
We've seen vampire romances in Hollywood multiple times, from the Twilight movies to The Vampire Diaries. But Bollywood has never really tried this genre. That freshness alone will pull audiences into theatres.
The Stree & Bhediya connection
Makers have teased that both Stree and Bhediya characters will appear in the film. Since both are already fan favourites, people will be curious to see their crossover with Thama.
Comedy with a Maddock touch
Like other Maddock films, the trailer shows sharp, situational comedy. It's funny without trying too hard and laughter is always a crowd-puller.
A dream cast as vampires?
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Rashmika Mandanna, and Ayushmann Khurrana all playing vampires! Fans are definitely excited to see their favourite stars in such an unexpected avatar.
Action at par with Twilight
Beyond horror and comedy, the trailer shows high-octane action sequences that feel very Twilight-like. This is the first time Maddock's universe is experimenting with big-scale action and that's a huge attraction.
Watch The Trailer
In short, with its fresh vampire twist, star power, action, comedy, and universe crossover, Thama looks all set to create Diwali fireworks at the box office.
